Tesla Pricing & Reviews

Tesla Motors is transforming how people drive with its long-range electric vehicles and expanding national recharging network. The company started small, basing its first model—an electric 2-seat roadster—on a Lotus Elise. Learning from this, the company introduced the large Model S, a 5-door fastback with approximately 250 miles of range and space for 5 people. The 7-passenger Model X crossover SUV uses the same platform as the Model S, wowing owners with “falcon wing” rear doors. Next, the smaller Model 3 promises more affordable electric mobility in a stylish package. The company is named after Nikola Tesla, a physicist and electrical engineer.

Addressing concerns of electric vehicle (EV) owners and prospective buyers or lessees about range anxiety, speed, flexibility and ease of operation, both high-end Tesla Motors, maker of the Model S luxury electric car, and Nissan Motor, maker of the Leaf compact EV, last week announced programs to alleviate some worries about both battery charging and battery replacement in the U.S. market.

This week, Elon Musk, head of Tesla Motors, U.S. luxury electric vehicle (EV) maker, announced plans to accelerate the process of expanding a network of fast-charging stations to allow drivers of Tesla's luxury Model S EV to travel between Los Angeles and New York.
